Im selling my MR2 as I need something a bit more economical, preferably a Honda. The car is a 1994 MR2 Rev 3 Turbo, Japanese import of course. Ive used the car everyday for the last 6 months and its been fantastic, never letting me down.
Spec
90k miles
6months Tax and Test
Mongoose Exhaust system
New Greddy intercooler kit
Work Motorsport 4 piston big brake kit with brand new discs and EBC yellow pads all round.
BC coilovers
HKS induction kit
HKS blow off valve
JDM 17 staggered wheels 17x7.5 front, 17.8.5 rear
Since buying the car Ive spent a small fortune improving it. First up I bought the JDM wheels as its essential for the handling on an MR2 to maintain the stagger. They are wrapped in Michelin pilot exalto tyres which are fantastic in dry and wet conditions. Next I spent £700 upgrading the brakes to the WMS kit with braided hoses, new discs and EBC yellows all round. I also had a Toad cat 1 alarm and immobiliser fitted, fitted a new ignition coil and gave her an oil change.
To drive, the car is incredibly tight, there are no funny noises and no smoke from the turbo/engine. It is always warmed up and cooled down in the correct fashion. The BC coilovers offer fantastic ride quality whilst tightening up the car and giving incredible handling. The brakes can rip your face off and the acceleration kicks you in the back . The body work of the car is also in magnificent condition, there is not a dent on it and it polishes up a treat.
Bad points
A small rust patch coming through on either arch and a small patch on the tbar roof.
Gearbox syncro when changing from 4th to 3rd, there is a crunch at higher revs. Every other gear is perfect, I just double declutch 4th to 3rd and it completely eliminates it.
Tbar leak Its dripping a bit after prolonged heavy rain, this is easily fixed (and for free), Ill do it if i get chance.
Due to the money Ive spent and the fantastic condition Im looking for £3500 ono. If the asking price is met I can Include an almost brand new greddy intercooler kit. Viewing and driving is highly recommended. Thanks for looking!

Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS
Did the old cling film and selotape repair yesterday, so T-bar should hopefully be leak free now .
Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS
Hmmm looks very tidy... I do love them in white..
Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS
Thanks, I'm a little surprised I've not had too much interest yet. I am open to sensible offers, I'm sure the first to see will buy!
Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS
I've found my next car so I'm going to offer this up at £3000 now, no offers. The Intercooler will be available seperately.
Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS
joe,
if t-bar doesnt work let me know - did it on my last with black silicon sealant and have loads spare so will do it for you if you run it across

Thanks, I'm sure it will have worked but haven't been able to test it........the one time I actually do want it to rain and it is sunny all week
